Edu Comelles lives and works in Valencia. He is a sound designer, musician and curator. He is currently involved in several individual and collective projects ranging from sound art, field recordings and experimental music.

Let it Happen is a Collaborative Sound Installation created using field recordings and soundscapes done by the participants at the Soundscape and Microphones Workshop conducted by Edu Comelles between the 5th and 6th of April 2018. The soundscapes are being played back randomly through the exhibition room. Those sound files are the outcome of a series of recording and soundwalks around the main building of the CAAM.

Participants actively engaged with materials, resonance and the acoustics and the idea of listening to the building itself. The title of the work refers to the act of listening, the act of waiting while recording and the way we observe our environment. "Let it Happen" talks about all sounds and noises around us, and the infinite combinations that our world generates constantly.

On the installation, a series of recordings are being mixed, over-layered and crossed dancing a never-ending choreography, an invented soundscape. A soundscape made of the very sonic environment we are in. The miss-match, the randomness and serendipity of it are elements that interveen in this composition which is also collective, pluri-focal and site-specific.

The piece, has no beginning nor end, like the soundscape, and it can be confronted from any given point of listening, there isn't two equal listening experiences, all soundscapes are unique and constantly changing.
